What is Blueberry Smoothie?
Blueberry Smoothie is a smooth, creamy, and healthy fruit drink. It is usually made with fresh or frozen blueberries, banana, milk, ground flaxseed, Greek yogurt, and honey. It is one of the healthy drinks best to enjoy as a breakfast, or as a quick pick me up.
As most of you know, Blueberries are a nutrition-rich fruit packed with antioxidants, vitamin c, vitamin k, and dietary fibers. So consuming it as a smoothie with other healthy ingredients like banana, flaxseed, greek yogurt and milk make it a wholesome drink.
You can also customize this smoothie according to your health goals. For instance, can substitute the dairy products with plant-based products and honey with maple syrup for a vegan-friendly version of this smoothie. Mix and match your favorite fruits, add in some healthy fats or protein powder, and a lot more.

The ingredients you will need to make this Blueberry Smoothie are basic and fresh elements. Let's see what are they below.

Storage Suggestions
I would always recommend making the smoothies as fresh as possible but you can also store the leftover in the refrigerator for up to a day. Also storing them in air-tight containers helps to retain their freshness. You may see some separation in the smoothie which is perfectly normal, so swirl it with a spoon or straw before enjoying it again. And I also wouldn't suggest storing them for more than a day.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this Blueberry Smoothie as a filling drink for breakfast that keeps you satisfied until lunch. You can also add a tablespoon of healthy peanut, almond, or cashew butter for an extra satisfying drink. This smoothie is also one of the best drinks to enjoy for snacks or when sudden hunger pangs hit you.
